National Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center for African American Men's Health

描述(由申请人提供)：由明尼苏达大学(UMN)与阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校(UAB)合作建立的国家非洲裔美国人男性健康跨学科合作中心(NTCC)旨在通过区域方法在全国范围内解决影响非裔美国人男性的健康差距问题。该计划将针对非洲裔美国男性在整个生命过程中在无意和与暴力相关的伤害和慢性病方面的差异。拟议的NTCC建立在现有的国家联盟-促进少数人参与临床试验(Empact)-的框架上，并将利用五个主要Empact中心的现有基础设施：UMN(中西部)、UAB(东南部)、约翰霍普金斯大学(东部)、MD Anderson癌症中心(西南部)和加州大学戴维斯分校(西部)。目标是开发、实施和评估干预措施，通过研究、推广和培训改善非裔美国人男性的健康。这一目标将通过与我们的全国支持者、美国国家浸信会基金会、国家橄榄球联盟和100名美国黑人男子公司的广泛伙伴关系和重要合作来实现。为了实现我们的目标，我们将实施以下具体目标：目标1.进行为期一年的规划和评估阶段。目标2.制定、实施和评估非洲裔美国男性不同健康结果核心领域的合作研究计划：意外伤害和暴力相关伤害、心血管疾病、癌症和中风；目标3.建立四个核心(行政、合作和伙伴关系、研究和干预实施/传播)，以支持拟议和未来的研究活动；目标4.与国家社区合作伙伴和Empact联合会成员合作，制定、实施和评估试点项目计划；目标5.通过使用传统和社交媒体的综合方法传播研究成果和促进研究吸收，以便在各级吸引利益相关者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center for African American Men's Health (NTCC), proposed by the University of Minnesota (UMN) in partnership with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), seeks to address, through a regional approach, health disparities in conditions affecting African American men on a national scope. The program will target disparities in unintentional and violence-related injuries and chronic diseases in African American men across the life course of this population. The proposed NTCC is built upon the framework of an existing national consortium - the Enhancing Minority Participation in Clinical Trials (EMPaCT) - and will utilize the established infrastructure of the five major EMPaCT centers: UMN (Midwest), UAB (Southeast), Johns Hopkins University (East), MD Anderson Cancer Center (Southwest), and the University of California, Davis (West).The goal is to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions that will improve African American men's health through research, outreach, and training. This goal will be pursued through the broad partnership and significant collaboration with our national supporters, the National Baptist Convention Foundation USA, Inc. , the National Football League , and 100 Black Men of America, Inc. To achieve our goal, we will implement the following specific aims: Aim 1. Conduct a one-year planning and assessment phase. Aim 2. Develop, implement, and evaluate a collaborative research program in the core areas of differential health outcomes for African American men: unintentional and violence -related injuries, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and stroke; Aim 3. Establish four cores (Administrative, Collaborations and Partnerships, Research, and Intervention Implementation/Diffusion) to support the proposed and future research activities; Aim 4. Develop, implement, and evaluate a Pilot Project Program in collaboration with national community-based partners and in conjunction with EMPaCT Consortium members;Aim 5. Disseminate research results and promote research uptake through an integrated approach that uses both traditional and social media in order to engage stakeholders at all levels.
